Nice all around offerings for some.
Just one item for me.
No new freight car tooling or blue-silver R12's & 15's.
More re-runs again and stuff I don't really need.

There are different vent and louvre placements.

I too want silver & blue R12's. I want all colors of R 15's �� But I think that's gonna be a kitbash project for down the line.
Were did you get those logos? I'm in for both #'S of the blue and white mp15. I have logos but I don't think they are the correct size.
I will get an FEC box car.
Andrew
I want MTH to make this one, or Lionel

As someone who's dream layout would feature a replica of Cleveland's Terminal Tower with underground station, it'll be hard for me to pass on one of the Cleveland Union Terminal P2 Box Cabs.

Hello LAZ, I was curious about that car, does the R&N have one?
I would like to get the ILLINOIS CENTRAL GULF 1776 GP38-2 diesel and the DT&I gondola.

Sorry there were no matching Halloween passenger cars for the crusader, and no tinplate in the club cars.

I would bet that the DL&W 44 ton and HT#2 will sell very well. First time they were offered.
Not as well as that Strasburg Unit!
GREAT CATALOG! GREAT WESTERN!!! I'll take one of everything!

Holy smokes...the Big Boys and Triplex again...they were just in the 2015 vol. II catalog, must be good sellers.

Ah re-runs, like I stated. Items they didn't sell in the past. Must still be over stocked!
Maybe they should have looked at "what the modelers wanted "thread more often?

Too bad that is not the paint scheme MTH is offering for the passenger cars

I couldn't agree more!
Nothing for me this time. Still looking for a set of Maine Central F units and some aluminum passenger cars to go with it!

Happy to see another run of brill streetcars. Ill prob pick up the Christmas one
I will pick up a couple of the chromed tank cars to add to my chromed consist.
I'm really into WWII trains, and I would pick up the tank and ambulance cars except that they are 1:43. I already run a bunch of flats with 1:50 WWII vehicles so these would look kind of odd.
John B, I'm often times looking for a good deal on WWII die cast military gear. I don't seem to able to find a tank for less than $25. 1:48 or 50 is a hard scale to find a bargain in.

Picking up the Milw RD FM. Already called Pat's Trains and preordered.

Since I’m switching from HO to 3rail O, I’ve been looking for modern power. I have 2 NS locos on layaway at my local hobby shop, and will probably pre-order the CSX ES44 units, both numbers. Maybe some freight cars too.
My daughter (who is 5) loves the colors of the ACL Railking E3s since she saw one of the real units in a YouTube video with the 611. It’s tempting. It would give her something to run when she’s playing with trains with daddy.
AJZEND,
I would not worry about the Sherman tanks, as I said I believe they are 1/48 as the ones I have on my military train look fine with Corgi Sherman's and Tamiya 1/48 Sherman's too. I agree the ambulances are 1/43 so they are a little large. I do have a couple 1/43 vehicles on my train but I am careful not to put them on the same flatcar as a 1/50 Corgi tank.
I have been buying die cast military vehicles for at least the last 15 years. I'd say my average purchase price would be $20. My high price would be $30 and my low would be $10. I picked up several Hobby Master Sherman's that MTH used on prior flatcars for $10 each at York a few years ago. He said they were excess he bought from MTH. Also picked up about 10 vehicles from my train club that came in a collection the club purchased. They were mounted on 027 flatcars that I gave away but kept the vehicles. They will be going on the Lion Scale flat cars that are in the Lionel 2017 V2 catalog.
eBay is another good source of buying die cast military vehicles too. Don't be afraid of overseas vendors sometimes the wait is long but the price can be real good even with shipping included. Stay away from overpriced buy it now stuff but if you set a limit on your bidding and back out if the bidding passes by your limit. Another one is around the corner.
